Does the Canon EOS Rebel T8i / 850D have custom shooting modes like C1/C2?

I’m looking for a way to save a group of camera settings and recall them later, similar to the C1/C2 custom shooting modes found on some Canon bodies. I checked the manual for the Canon Rebel T8i / EOS 850D and couldn’t find anything. Does this camera offer saved custom shooting profiles anywhere in the menus, or is that feature not available on the T8i?

As far as I know 3 and 4 number models (xxxD and xxxxD, T8i = EOS 850D) do not support custom shooting profiles. If you want to use such option you should switch to 2 or 1 number models (xxD, xD) like 70D, 5D, 1d and so on.
This option is counted as more advanced and reasonably is not available on low end models.
P.S. In Magic Lantern there is such option, option 2 (to store in scene modes for custom shooting modes) but your camera is not supported.

No. The Canon EOS Rebel T8i / 850D does not offer saved custom shooting modes such as C1/C2.
According to the community answers, this feature is not available on Canon Rebel models, including the T8i/850D. It’s generally reserved for Canon’s higher-tier bodies, such as some xxD and full-frame models.
So on the T8i, there isn’t a hidden menu option or preset bank that lets you save and recall your own full custom shooting profiles. You’ll need to re-enter those settings manually when switching between setups.
One answer also notes that Magic Lantern has offered similar functionality on some cameras, but the T8i/850D is not supported, so that is not a practical workaround here.
